Findings of Special Commit
tee are That Postmaster
Examinations and Certifi
cations Were Unbiased.
Washington, July 25.—After spend
ing nearly three months in an in
vestigation of the subject, a special
committee submitted a report to the
senate today declaring without foun
dation charges that the federal civil
service commission had been biased
Jjy political influence in its examina
tion and certification of postmaster
y applications.
. N'Jhe report said that whic there
b there mistakes made in the certifi
cation of candidates for the many
places, the investigation it made
“would indicate that the mistake
were surprisingly few and that such
..as may have been are due to errors
M judgment and not to any wrong
Hntent.”
v “Judged alone by the cases pre
sented,the report went on, “this
committee believes that the work of
the commission was ably and con
scientiously performed and that poli
tical influence has not been used, or,
if sought to be used, had no effect
in the examinations conducted un
der the supervision of the eonunis
sipn or in the making or altering of
grab's. It believes also that the acts
of ev/’*'ress and executive orders giv
ing pcrfcrencc to former service men
/ i, s |'’npointment to office under civil
s, I ice rules have been observed by

Further in absolving the commis
sion of blame, the report said it was
beloved that many of the contro
versies as to postmaster appoint
ments had arisen out of the rule re
quiring the names of the three high
est eligibles for appointment be cer
tified by the commission to.be ap
pointing power.
It added that there remained a
grave question whether there would
not have been less complaint had
that rule been abrogated and the
name of only the highest eligible
submitted.
Scores of cases were discussed in
■tfhe report, among them being com
ldaints concerning of di
vides or of nominees at the follow

Hopewell Union Wins Loving Cup for Best Report—Practi
cally All Unions In State Represented.
The Young Peoples Christian I Ti
ion of the Associate Reform Presby
terian church held its annual state
meeting here last week. All churches
of this denomination vin the state
were represented with the exception
of Wrens, Ebcnczer, and Moreland,
and it was a matter of regret that

SEEM II MEET
ID IMBIBE,
Gu b c rnatorial Candidate
Opens Up With Fireworks
Charging Political Ring is
At Work in S. C.
Marion, S. C., July 25.—Like a
thunder bolt from a clear sky,
George K. I.aney candidate for gov
ernor, today started a discussion
that bids well to increase interest
in the State Campaign, when he de
clared that he saw evidence on the
streets of Marion prior to the time
of the meeting, which proved con
clusively that there was a politi
cal ring at work in South Carolina
which is putting out the statement
that McLeod is the logical man with
which to beat Blease for Governor
in the election this summer. The
subject was treated with little mercy
by Lancy, who denounced the action
of sound thinking people in lining
up with such an organization. He
made a plea to the women in the
audience in the entire slate that
they be not lead to the polls like
sheep to the slaughter, and urged
them to vote according to their
own independent thought.
Mr. Laney acquainted the citizens
of Marion County with his record
in the General Assembly in the in
terest of an education for every hoy
and girl in South Carolina, and told
them that if they scratched his
name on a ballot in the election,
they would have to trample over
twenty years fighting for the cause
which gave the most previous in
heritance that is possible for the
state to give its sons and daughters.
Former Governor Bicase was the
first of the candidates for Governor
to address the audience today. He
declared that the last eight years
had witnessed the most extravag
ance in expenditures of State funds
that has ever been known. He would
not charge that there had been cor
rption hut said that there had
been and arc too many political
pets traveling around the state do
ing dirty work for cheap politicians
sucking the financial life blood of
the tax payers without doing any
good whatever.
With reference to the increase in
the educational appropriation lie de
clared that too many associate pro
fessors, are employed in the in
stitutions of the State, in some
cases as many as three men doing
the work that one man can do in
the classroom.
He ventured the assertion that
should the ministers of the state
desire to become acquainted with
the situation relative to enforce
ment of law, they could probably
smell the “evidence” in the amen
corners of their churches.
He had no apology to make for
his pardon record, and stated that
some people who critize his record
on this score evidently believe that
ministers of the gospel should
preach the forgiving spirit of Christ.
Thomas G. McLeod declared that
the only ring which supported him
was a majority of the voters of the
state, and a ring into which the
other candidates are making a futile
effort to enter.
“Wc must get down to hard tack
in the affairs of State, as wc have
been forced to do in the home,”
he said, “and not sacrifice any of
the efficiency that has been de
veloped so far.” f
John T. Duncan again assailed
the newspapers of the state, declar
ing that they were trying to give
their readers the impression that he
was assailing no one but Blease. He
today claimed that McLeod and
Laney are both sailing under the
leadership of Edwin Wales Robert
son of Columbia, and are pledged to
use their influence to sec that the
Columbia canal is delivered over to
Robertson for a mere pittance in
case either of the two candidates
of the system are elected. None of
his opponents, he said, are willing
to hold up their hands in the mat
ter of the skin game that the Sou
thern Kell Telephone and Telegraph
Cos is getting away with each year
in the State, He declared that E.
W. Robertson was handed a fortune
by his father, who accummulated it
in “the days of stealing.”
The meeting tomorrow will be
held at Dillon, where good race
horses, pretty girls and toothsome
delicacies such as fried chicken are
said to abound.
MAM IS BEATEN BY
EIGHT MASKED MEN
Wilmington, N. C, July 25.—C. R.
McLeod, of St. Paul, Robeson Coun
ty, was taken from his home last
night by eight masked men and giv

a dispatch to the Morning Star. No
reason was given for the action of
the masked men. T. N. Sibbett and

LOUISVILLE, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, JULY, 27, 1922
ONLY THREE MORE WEEKS
GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND
NOTHING YET ACCOMPLISHED
Both Houses Adjourn Early After Little Routine Work,
Senate Pays Honor to Memory of Hall —Savannah's In
vitation is Accepted—Legislators to Inspect Proposed
Port Terminals.
Atlanta, July 25—Wednesday three !
weeks the present General Assembly
of Georgia adjourns sine die and
passes out of existence. To date
there is not one outstanding piece
of constructive legislation enacted.
The only reform measure of import
ance so far is the Australian ballot
hill by Speaker Neill which has
passed the House, but which thus
far is tied up in thc^senatc.
If in 18 more working days the
two houses can do more than they
have thus far accomplished the As
sembly will write something on the
record pages of the state. Maybe
they can.
Today the Assembly accomplished
nothing. Each house was in session
but a short time, working on routine,
until a joint session was organized
at 11 o'clock to hear an address by
Fnited States Senator Wm. J. Harris,
immediately after which the House
adjurned. The senate reconvened
only that it might immediately ad
journ out of respect to the memory
of the late Hon. Joseph Hill Hall of
Macon.
The Watkins equalization repeal
bfll stands as the special and con
tinuing order in the House, and on
that all legislative attention centers.
It is the definite and foregone con
clusion that on this piece of legis
lation and the House action on it
the fate of the balance of the ses
sion hinges, so far as remedial and
constructive legislation is concerned.
It has been demonstrated that a ma
jority of the house, and a substantial
one at that, is in favor of the repeal,
and the probably better drilled min
ority is fighting every step to stave
off action, but with mighty fain pros
pect. Mildly a filibuster was attemp
ted by the minority this morning hv
forcing a roll call at the opening and
compelling full reading of the en
tire journal to the end that the time
he occupied right up to 11 o’clock
and the hour for the joint session.
In that there was success, hut it has
served only to stave off the inevit
able day and further consume time
which might profitably be used to
do some constructive work. From the
majority wing of the house the in
formation came today that they are
willing, once the Watkins hill has
been victoriously set and finally
passed to jump in and pass a luxury
tax hill, a mild income tax bill or
whatever may he deemed necessary
to supply the needed revenue to the
treasury.
The rules committee today, in its
recommendation of a calendar, fixed
the proposed three per cent income
tax hill to follow immediately af
ter the Watkins repeal bill, and the
classification tax bill to immediately
follow that. This order of business
follows the harmoony plan which
Representative Lankford of Toombs
has for several days been trying to
DISMISS CASE
Against Josiah T. Rose. Ac
cused Claims Politics Were
to Blame.
Atlanta. Ga., July 25.—Josiah T.
Rose, internal revenue collector,
against whom certain charges were
lodged by Mrs. Frank O. Cooper, as
part of a palpable political attack,
and which she has now withdrawn
entirely, declared today, when the
case was dismissed by the federal
commissioner, that the withdrawal
of the complaint is tantamount of
an admission of guilt on the part
of the complainants. He asserts
that developments have proven the
political plot which had hatched
against him.
PROBATE WILL OF
EDWARD W. BARRETT
Birmingham. Ala, July 25—The
last will and testament of the late
Kdward W. Barrett, editor and prin
cipal owner of the Birmingham Age-
Herald was formally probated today
and letters testamentary were issued
to Mrs. Lewis B. Barrett, widow of
the deceased as executrix and also
as guardian of the children of the
deceased.
The will provided that Mrs. Bar
rett be appointed executrix and also
designated her as guardian of the
three children, Kdward Barrett, Jr.,
Kitty Barrett and Miss Jane Barrett.
It also requested that no bond be
required of Mrs. execu
trix and that she be required to
make no reports to any court.
The estate of the deceased is to
be divided share and share alike
among the widow and children ex
cept the shares in the Age-Herald

Atlanta, Ga., July 25.—Governor
Hardwick took occasion today, at
the Kiwanis Club luncheon, at which
he and members of the general as

JUDGE SIBLEY RULES
On Methods Which Ma/
Legally Be Employed By
Unions in Placing Pickets.
Atlanta, Ga., July 25.—Judge Sam
uel H. Sibley, in the federal court
here, today designed the methods
that may lawfully be used in picket

which is that both sides must re

acts of violence; that not more than
two men may at any time he used

The case referred to the union
station in Atlanta and L. & N trains
and engines, the court holding that
not more than two strike pickets
may be used at any one time at
each end of the station, and pick
ets must be stationed not at a closer
range to the property than 200
yards.
The decision is in a case asking
injunction against the union heads
in their picketing methods, in con
nection with which a number of
workers complained of mistreat

o’clock today, in the presence of a
joint session of the General Assem
bly and numerous visitors who filled
the gallery and main floor about to

J. Harris reviewed his activities in
the United States Senate since lie
has been a member of that body, de
tailing especially his activities on the
important appropriations committee
and other committees of the senate
and saying he occupies more com
mittee end sub committee places
than have ever before been accorded
to a Senator from Georgia.
The Senator said be bad no ap
poligies to make that much more has
not been done in national congres
sional legislation for the past year
and a half, because of the fact that
the congress and the administration
are Republican, and Democratic
members, therefore, are naturally
under handicap. He expressed the be
lief that both congress and the ad
ministration will again be Demo
cratic.
He especially went into an analysis
of the national deflation policy fol
lowing the war, and said he has al
ways been opposed to the deflation I
policy of the Federal Reserve Rank
system, which was responsible for
the slump and business depression
which the South especially has felt.
He had no criticism, he said, to make
of the Georgia officials of that sys
tem, but lie opposed the confirma
tion of the members of the hoard
who were responsible for adoption
of the restricting policy of deflation
adopted to control the entire sys
tem.
His references to President Wil
son were received with applause by
his audience.
On the rostrum with Speaker W.
G. Neill and President Herhel Clay
during the speech sat Hon. Hoke
Smith, late United States Senator,
who was defeated by Hon. Thomas li.

The program given by the ladies

audience. “Our friends the Men.”

better equipment and more room
for the delinquent and neglected
hoys and urged the editors to aid
in this most laudable work.
“The l nintelligent Woman” was
the subject of an excellent address
by Mrs. Royal Daniel, of the Quit
